As I am sure you thought about, if the tint is dark it makes night driving vision from sides and rear harder to see oncomming.
35% is my option.

...but I think the rear window with darker and side windows lighter is good...
...I really like the darker tint against the dark edges in the rear window...

35% and 50% would be lighter actually.. 5% lets only 5% of light pass through the tint where as 35% would let 35% pass through the tint thus making it lighter. Just thought I would clear that up... With that said I believe I have 35% tint on mine.

In fact...
I believe I have decided what I am going to do...
I like the idea of 35% front and 15% rear...
But to get just a little more light through the rear window...
...something in between the suggestions here...
I have chosen 20% for the rear window
...And for the side windows again something a little darker but not quite so dark as some of the suggestions...
I have chosen 30% for the side windows...
Thanks everyone for your help...
...Called my buddy and the tint goes on Monday morning...

Here's mine, 30 all around, I don't like the look of different shades, or not being able to see at night, or being illegal.[IMG][/IMG]

Had Dark Dark Tint on my 01 Black Z when I took delivery of it a few years back..... it also had the front windshield tint.....
I removed it.... because:
1. I looked like a rapper.
2. Hard to see at night.
3. Alot of 2nd looks from LEO..... followed me a few times...
4. Alot of ricer attn..... wanting to race.....
5. I only put really dark tint on hoopties... so no-one knows who's behind the wheel..... that was not the case for my Z
